Yeah, I have been watching it since it started.

I want to see the rescue effort and see how they get him down. My 2 ideas have consisted of a skydive team and a bomber deploying a weighted net.

{edited because I'm an a-hole.}

Seriously though, I hope this poor kid ends up safe and sound.

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

The Balloon has landed and the boy wasn't inside.

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

I'm pinned to the tube over this. He wasn't inside. His little ass had better be hiding under the bed. This is horrible.

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

oh man this is horrible

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

So now they are saying he may have never gotten inside. I really hope that's the case.

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

I hope he is hiding somewhere.

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

After discovering the empty balloon: "Officials from the Larimar County Sheriff's office were searching for the boy around the family's home and neighborhood. Just east of family house, volunteers were walking through the nearby treeline calling out the boy's name."

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

the kid is from a Wife Swap, very strange family if I remeber the epiosode correctly.

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

This is nuts.

Hope the kid is okay..

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

When I was a wee lad, my parents once pissed me off so bad, I ran out of the house at night and told them I was running away. I crawled under a car across the street and hid there and watched while my parents looked for me.

I sure hope this kid shows up in similar fashion.

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

lot of craziness about this

30 pg thread on another board

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

Okay wtf. Wouldn't you search the house top to bottom before you called the police and said, "I think my kid might've floated away in my weather balloon?"

Why some people have kids is beyond me. :doh:

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

First, absolutely terrific that they found the kid.

Second, if this was a hoax/attention stunt, you just bought six hours of a kiowa's flight time (at a minimum).

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

That was that kids LUCKY day! Was at the gym watching that ordeal unfold.

Thought that kid was an ice sickle, flying around out of control on that damn balloon!

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

has fox pinned this on obama yet?

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

Glad the kid's alive and well, now I can make my original comment: Does anyone else find it ironic that the kid's name is Falcon?

media ploy by the parents to get coverage of their crappy balloon. Hiding my ass

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

I should re-title the thread but I don't know to what

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

I'm honestly glad to hear this kid is ok, when I first heard the story the thought of a little kid falling out of a balloon was absolutely horrific to me.

I was thinking that too. The parents are a bunch of nut jobs, just watch Wife Swap.

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

[quote=SmootSmack;609166]I should re-title the thread but I don't know to what[/quote]How about "Falcon soars majestically."

I suggest "Bacon is Good for Me!"

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

From what I heard on the radio this morning the boy slipped up and said it was for the show while he was getting interviewed. They also showed a tape of the thing floating away and you can tell the dad was acting. Someone going to get in trouble for this.

Once I heard his mom was on Wife Swap...I was suspicious.

Poor kid doesn't have a chance with parents like this.

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

Odd story, odd people. I guess it's not surprising if this was some sort of hoax.

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

It would've been a story if the little shit had fallen to his death. :FIREdevil

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

I heard this on the radio first and when I dot home the first thing that came to mind was that thing could not lift a kid off the ground.

You could borrow the headline from DrudgeReport- "Loon Balloon: We Did This For A Show."

Re: Boy Floating Away In Balloon (Happening Now on CNN)
 

Can we send Vinny up in a Balloon .... as a hoax of course ?
